The present invention relates to an attachment to buttons, studs, and other similar articles Worn uponV clothing, whereby they can be so secured to the clothing as to render it impossiblefor them to become detached therefrom and thus lost as the clothing is worn. In the accompanying-plate of vdrawings our improved button? fastening is illustrated- Figure 1 being a view of the under side of a button' with our fastening applied thereto, but on'asomeivhat enlarged scale; and

To the back or under side of the button A our improved fastening, C, is applied or attached, which fastening consists of tivo similar arms D D2, one, D, of which is stationary', while the other, D2, is hung so as to swing around npon'thcbutton, and thus be susceptible oi' being either broughtin the same planewith the fixed arm, either above or below the same, according as lit-.is arranged, or to be brought in the pasition shown in g. 1, that is, so as to form an extension oncontinilation and be in the same line with the xed arml D, the movable arm being secured or held in either one of the tu'o'positions above stated by means of a spring-` l catch, E, (secured to the movable arm so as to turn with it,) engaging withthe hatches a at suitable vpointsin the rim Gr on `the back side of the button. l Y

When the button having the fastening attachment abovedescribed is to be applied to a garment, the movable arm of the fastening is tirstto be brought under the stationary arm, when, putting them through the button-hole in the garment, turn the movable arm until it 'comes into the position shown in iig. 2, Where the spring-catch holds it, thusisecuiiely fastening the button to the garment, as is obvious without any further explanation.
